Hi I have a question about the SharedResources file. It is glanced over in the tutorial here: &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/localization&quot;&gt;https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/localization&lt;/a&gt;, and I&#39;m not sure if I get it correctly.

I am supposed to create a `SharedResources.cs` class, but where should i put it and should it be empty or do I need to fill it with some data?

Same goes for the resource file, should I create a `SharedResources.da.resx` file and put all my shared strings there? Where should it go?

And when I use `IHtmlLocalizer&lt;SharedResources&gt;` do I just write `@using` and point it to the namespace where `SharedResources.cs` resides?

I tried putting `SharedResources.cs` and `SharedResources.da.resx` in the Resources folder and use it to change website language to Danish, but it does not work. Using dedicated Resource file like `Index.da.resx` and `IViewLocalizer` works fine, but `IHtmlLocalizer&lt;SharedResources&gt;` does not seem to work.

When I looked at the example project linked to at the bottom of the page I didn&#39;t find any place where SharedResources is used, it would be great if somebody updated it with an example of that.

Here&#39;s how I tried to do it:

Views/Home/Index.cshtml:

    @using Funkipedia.Resources
    @using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Localization
    @inject IHtmlLocalizer&lt;Shared&gt; SharedLocalizer
    ...
    &lt;p&gt;@SharedLocalizer[&quot;Hei&quot;]&lt;/p&gt;
    ...

At top of ConfigureServices in Startup.cs:

    services.AddLocalization(options =&gt; options.ResourcesPath = &quot;Resources&quot;);
    services.AddMvc()
      .AddViewLocalization(LanguageViewLocationExpanderFormat.Suffix)
      .AddDataAnnotationsLocalization();



At top of Configure in Startup.cs:

    var supportedCultures = new List&lt;CultureInfo&gt;
    {
           new CultureInfo(&quot;nb-NO&quot;),
           new CultureInfo(&quot;sv-SE&quot;),
           new CultureInfo(&quot;da-DK&quot;)
    };
    
    app.UseRequestLocalization(new RequestLocalizationOptions
    {
           DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture(&quot;nb-NO&quot;),
           SupportedCultures = supportedCultures,
           SupportedUICultures = supportedCultures
    });



Resources folder contains empty class called `Shared.cs` and `Shared.da.resx` which contains shared strings. Do I maybe need to change the name of it to `SharedResources.cs` and `SharedResources.da.resx`?
